The Beach Party is a 1931 Mickey Mouse animated short film directed by Burt Gillett, produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

[1] It was the thirty-fourth short in the Mickey Mouse film series, and the tenth produced that year.

[3] In a contemporary review, Motion Picture Herald said: "This one runs ahead, in cleverness, entertainment and amusement, of the usual Walt Disney output... An octopus comes up out of the sea and chases the dog, with results that will make any audience anywhere sit up, laugh and be vastly entertained.

"[5] In Mickey's Movies: The Theatrical Films of Mickey Mouse, Gijs Grob writes: "The Beach Party shows that the studio was more capable than any other studio in telling a good gag-filled story leading to a great finale.

"[3] The short was released on December 7, 2004 on Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black and White, Volume Two.
